Gong slowly came together in the late '60s when Australian guitarist Daevid Allen (ex-Soft Machine) began making music with his wife, singer Gilli Smyth, along with a shifting lineup of supporting musicians. Albums from this period include Magick Brother, Mystic Sister (1969) and the impromptu jam session Bananamoon (1971) featuring Robert Wyatt from the Soft Machine, Gary Wright from Spooky Tooth, and Maggie Bell. A steady lineup featuring Frenchman Didier Malherbe (sax and reeds), Christian Tritsch (bass), and Pip Pyle (drums) along with Allen (glissando guitar, vocals) and Gilli Smyth (space whisper vocals) was officially named Gong and released Camembert Electrique in late 1971, as well as providing the soundtrack to the film Continental Circus and music for the album Obsolete by French poet Dashiel Hedayat.

Camembert Electrique contained the first signs of the band's mythology of the peaceful Planet Gong populated by Radio Gnomes, Pothead Pixies, and Octave Doctors. These characters along with Zero the Hero are the focus of Gong's next three albums, the Radio Gnome Trilogy, consisting of Flying Teapot (1973), Angel's Egg (1974), and You (1975). On these albums, protagonist Zero the Hero is a space traveler from Earth who gets lost and finds the Planet Gong, is taught the ways of that world by the gnomes, pixies, and Octave Doctors and is sent back to Earth to spread the word about this mystical planet. The band themselves adopted nicknames – Allen was Bert Camembert or the Dingo Virgin, Smyth was Shakti Yoni, Malherbe was Bloomdido Bad de Grasse, Tritsch was the Submarine Captain and Pyle the Heap. Over the course of the trilogy, Tritsch and Pyle left and were replaced by Mike Howlett (bass) and Pierre Moerlen (drums). New members Steve Hillage (guitar) and Tim Blake (synthesizers) joined.

After You, Allen, Hillage, and Smyth left the group due to creative differences as well as fatigue. Guitarist Allen Holdsworth joined and the band drifted into virtuosic if unimaginative jazz fusion. Hillage and Allen each released several solo albums and Smyth formed Mothergong. Nevertheless the trilogy lineup has reunited for a few one-off concerts including a 1977 French concert documented on the excellent Gong Est Mort, Vive Gong album. Allen also reunited with Malherbe and Pyle as well as other musicians he had collaborated with over the years for 1992's Shapeshifter album. Hillage also worked as the ambient-techno alias System 7. A number of Gong-related bands have existed over the years, including Mothergong, Gongzilla, Pierre Moerlin's Gong, NY Gong, Planet Gong, and Gongmaison. During the new millennium Gong material continued to be released, including Live 2 Infinitea issued in fall 2000, as well as numerous reissues. I Am Your Egg appeared in 2006 from United States of Distribution.

Gong - Shamal (1975) + Gazeuse! (1976) + Expresso II (1978) [1989, Virgin, VJD-5017-19]

Gong - рок-группа ориентированная на прогрессивный рок, стиль которой называют также космическим роком. Была сформирована в 1967 году во Франции австралийским музыкантом Дэвидом Алленом. С самого начала Гонг стал исполнять очень сложные композиции, в которых в равной степени присутствуют элементы арт-рока, джаза, западно-европейского фольклора, фоном для которых служат эффектные синтезаторные импровизации. В текстовом отношении композиции Гонга представляют собой нечто среднее между поэзией битников и «мифологией» хиппи, по сей день являясь одним из лучших образцов стихосложения в рок-музыке.

Состав группы был интернационален и часто менялся. За время существования в группе принимали участие музыканты, чье творчество оказало огромное влияние на всех современных исполнителей, работающих на стыке джаз- и авангардного арт-рока: Стив Хиллидж, Дьдье Малёрб, Тим Блейк.

Творчество "Gong" оказало огромное влияние на всех современных исполнителей, работающих на стыке джаза и арт-рока. Группа которую основал композитор, певец и гитарист Дэвид Аллен, всегда отличалась редкой неустойчивостью состава. Австралийский битник, впервые приехавший в Англию в 1961 году, Аллен был одним из основателей группы "Soft Machine". Позже он вернулся в Париж, где вместе с певицей Джилли Смайт начал играть с различными гастрольными музыкантами. Выпустив с ними пару альбомов в 1970 году Аллен объявил о создании "Gong". Диски "Camembert Elecrique" и "Continental Circus" были заявкой о себе новой группы, в которую входили Джилли Смайт, Кристиан Трич и Дидье Малерб (саксофон, флейта), а также ударник Пип Пайл, который вскоре ушел и был заменен Лаури Алленом. Басистом стал Фрэнсис Моуз (экс - "Magma"). В это время "Gong" являлись одной из самых популярных групп, работавших во Франции. С самого начала команда стала исполнять очень сложные композиции, этакую смесь арт-рока, джаза и европейского фольклора. В текстовом отношении композиции "Гонга" представляли собой нечто среднее между поэзией битников и мифологией хиппи. Аллен, бывший абсолютным лидером группы верил в творческую демократию и хотел оставить для нее место, сотворив группу с равномерно распределенной ответственностью. Однако в начале 1972-го он распустил "Gong" и сосредоточился на композиторской работе, возродив ансамбль в конце того же года.

В новой команде сохранили свои места Малерб, Смайт, Лаури Аллен, Трич и Моуз, к которым добавились гитарист Стив Хиллидж и синтезаторщик Тим Блэйк. Этот состав записал альбом "The Flying Teapot", явившийся первой частью задуманной Алленом трилогии "Радиогном-невидимка". После выпуска последнего альбома трилогии Аллен отошел от активной музыкальной деятельности и отправился с Джилли на Майорку. Естественной заменой Аллену казался Стив Хиллидж, однако через короткое время оказалось, что лучшее время Хиллиджа было в альбоме "You" и развитие группы не выходит за рамки подражания. Следующий, более принципиальный переход был осуществлен на диске "Shamal". Но до него состав группы претерпевал ряд изменений. Дважды уходил из группы Пьер Мерлен; в первый раз его заменил Билл Бруфорд (экс-"King Crimson"), a во второй - Брайен Дэвисон (экс-"Nice" и "Refugee"). Стив Хиллидж в конце 1975 года уступил свое место Алану Холдсуорту. Продюсером диска "Shamal" был Ник Мэйсон из "Pink Floyd", что обусловило резкое повышение качества звука. В записи этого альбома приняли участие музыканты, раньше сотрудничавшие с группой: француженка Мирей Бауэр, игравшая на ксилофоне и ударных еще на сессиях дисков "Angel's egg" и "You", скрипач аргентинец Жорж Пинчевски, помогавший группе в их английском туре 1975 года и клавишник Патрик Лемуэн игравший с группой в Страсбурге в 1973 году. Состав этот довольно быстро распался. Затем в ансамбле вновь произошли значительные изменения. В своем лучшем составе: Аллен, Малерб, Мерлен, Блэйк и Хиллидж группа в мае 1978 года собралась на воссоединительный концерт.

Хотя эта акция привела к появлению нового великолепного альбома "Vive Gong / Gong Est Mort", однако соперничество двух фирм - "Virgin" и "Tapioca" - быстро отравило атмосферу согласия. С этого момента каждый из музыкантов, составлявших гордость старого "Гонга", повел свое дело. Прежнее название использовала как группа Пьера Мерлена, так и новый ансамбль Дэвида Аллена. Состав "Pierre Moerlen's Gong" явился наследником группы времен дисков "Shamal" и "Gazeuse!". В него вошли, кроме Мерлена, Мирей Бауэр, Бенуа Морлен, исполнитель на конгах Франсуа Хосе, а также американский басист Хенни Роуи. Сама же группа "Gong" осталась почти стабильной, только ушла Мирей Бауэр, а ее заменил Росс Рико. Но если диск-предшественник был наполнен кипящими идеями, то альбом "Expresso II" был заключен в более спокойные рамки. Зато сильными получились пластинки "Downwind" и "Time Is The Key". В 1980 году по взаимному согласию группа была распущена, и ее название было изъято из употребления. После периода неактивности в 1986 году "Gong" резко обновили свой состав и выпустили альбом " Breakthrough". Но в основном их деятельность ограничивалась эпизодическими выступлениями. "Gong" собрались вновь в 1992-м, проехавшись по Европе и записав студийный альбом "Shapeshifter". В октябре 1994-го Дэвид Аллен устроил концерт, посвященный 25-летию группы. В 2000 году "Gong" (c Дэвидом Алленом, Дидье Малербом, Майком Хаулеттом и новым саксофонистом Тэо Трэвисом) вновь собрались, чтобы записать сильный диск "Zero To Infinity" - пятую часть саги о Радиогноме. Во время гастролей группа также записала концертник "Live 2 Infinitea".

Between Daevid Allen's departure from the band and Pierre Moerlen's official takeover of the band, there is Shamal. This transitional album contains none of the Allen-inspired psychedelia, but also very little of Moerlen's jazz influence. Shamal is, for the most part, a progressive rock album, half vocal, half instrumental. Its most accessible tune, the opening "Wingful of Eyes," had the potential for airplay if only it hadn't been so lengthy. Penned by Mike Howlett, his not-so-great-but-appealing vocal style and lyrics will grow on you, given the opportunity. "Bambooji," mostly instrumental, opens with Didier Malherbe's flute, which at times gives this tune an Asian sound. Percussion and flute dominate and yield a Scottish feeling as well. "Mandrake" is the soft, laid-back piece on the album, followed by the closing title cut, a slight foreshadowing of the sound Pierre Moerlen and company assumed on the next several albums. Moerlen, an outstanding, classically trained drummer/percussionist, along with Jorge Pinchevsky on violin color this piece with a Mahavishnu Orchestra hue, although it's still distinctly Gong.

Gazeuse! was the first in a successful line of strictly jazz-rock sessions for percussionist Pierre Moerlen and company – compositions that stressed jazz more than rock and which generally strayed away from lyrical content. This 1976 recording, also released under the title Expresso, was the band's first completely instrumental album, a companion piece to the later, somewhat warmer Expresso II, which is quite similar in sound and structure. To say Gazeuse! is percussive is an understatement. Drummer Moerlen is accompanied by brother Benoit and Mireille Bauer on vibraphones with Mino Cinelu playing other assorted percussion. "Percolations" is a showcase for this foursome: Part one, a display of beautiful vibes and xylophones; part two, a technically superb drum solo. Pierre's playing is fierce in this second part, exhibited by some truly volatile drumming near the close. Allan Holdsworth is the sole guitarist on the album and contributes two of his own compositions. His "Night Illusion" is a standout and reminiscent of Bill Bruford's Feels Good to Me on which Holdsworth collaborated around the same time. Longtime Gong member Didier Malherbe adds spice to the proceedings with jazzy flute on "Shadows Of" and prominent sax on the slightly funky "Esnuria."

As interesting and fun as the Daevid Allen period was, the name Gong became more meaningful in the context of the music as percussionist Pierre Moerlen assumed the role of bandleader. An emphasis on percussives of all sorts became clear on Gazeuse!, the band's first completely instrumental album, and the music became much jazzier, though never considered jazz. Expresso II finds Pierre Moerlen's Gong at their peak. Like their previous studio release, Gazeuse!, the album is instrumental, the music is very polished, the sound very clean. Vibes and xylophone dominate on this album, somewhat reminiscent of the sound Zappa achieved through Ruth Underwood on One Size Fits All just three years earlier. The first two tracks, "Heavy Tune" and "Golden Dilemma," are the highlights here, partially due to the fact that the rest of the cuts all blend together and sound quite similar. The listener is pleasantly assaulted with a barrage of vibes, yet what a unique sound it is when heard on a rock-oriented album. Guitar combos rarely get much better than on "Heavy Tune," as Mick Taylor rips out leads over Allan Holdsworth's grinding rhythm guitar. The collective guitar sound achieved is one of restrained power; however, the piece can comparatively be considered a rocker. Gong shifts to a different gear with the following track, "Golden Dilemma," a faster-paced, jazzy piece with incredible solos from guitarist Bon Lozaga. Formerly of Curved Air, Darryl Way's violin is a highlight on "Sleepy" and "Boring" (neither of which apply). "Sleepy," which combines Way's violin with Holdsworth's guitar leads, prefigures the sound of the first U.K. album (Holdsworth went on to form U.K. with violinist Eddie Jobson). A very short album, Expresso II is possibly the strongest of the post-Allen Gong, and an essential album.
